Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have welcomed a baby boy. And the only person more excited than them is new grandmother, Fergie! Head to page 12 for all the official arrival news. The newest royal family member couldn’t have come at a better time – not only is it a bright spot amid the backdrop of the ongoing pandemic, but it’s sure to be a moment of respite for the Queen after her latest drama with royal bolters, Prince Harry and Meghan – turn to page 10 for more news on that. Congratulations, Eugenie and Jack, and welcome to the…

Rocker Bruce Springsteen is scheduled to appear in court “in the next few weeks”, according to sources, after he was arrested for reckless driving and driving while intoxicated. The incident occurred on November 14 in Gateway National Recreation Area in Bruce’s home state of New Jersey, but was only revealed last week. Bruce was “cooperative” throughout the arrest, said a spokesperson. Bruce, 71, was also charged with consuming alcohol in a closed area. As he was busted on federal land, Bruce will appear before a federal judge.…

Just days after Poh Ling Yeow revealed she’d separated from her second husband, Jonathan Bennett, the MasterChef favourite was back by the side of her first husband, Matt Phipps! Onlookers say Poh couldn’t stop smiling as Matt helped her out at her Jamface market stall in Adelaide. Matt is a co-owner of the business. Even though Poh insisted to The Weekend Australian magazine that “Jono and I still work together and are the best of friends,” sources tell New Idea that Jonathan was noticeably absent from the stall following the news. Poh and Matt tied the knot in 1990. They called it quits after nine years together and he’s since started a relationship with her best friend. “We were such great mates – that’s what made it so hard for…

Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman’s inseparable bond has reportedly taken a hit over negotiations of the next season of their hit show, Big Little Lies. A source tells New Idea that Reese, 44, is upset over Nicole’s supposed reluctance to return for a third season of the HBO limited series, even though she previously said she was all for it. “There is a grumbling among cast and crew that Big Little Lies is basically being held hostage by Nicole looking out for herself,” the source reveals. “A lot of people believed the closeness of this cast would mean they were all in for each other.” According to the source, Nicole, 53, has little intention of returning to any US-based productions, including Big Little Lies, for the foreseeable future and is…

When it rains, it pours! Not only is Australia’s favourite daughter, Kylie Minogue, finally becoming a bride – but wedding bells are also ringing for her younger sister, Dannii! Whispers that Kylie is engaged to her long-term partner, Paul Solomons, hit fever pitch earlier this month when UK actress Billie Piper referred to Paul, the creative director of British GQ, as Kylie’s “fiancé”. Days later, Paul’s stepmum, Gloria, seemingly confirmed the news, saying: “[Kylie’s] very nice. I’m thrilled they’re engaged. It’s very exciting.” Although Kylie, 52, denied the reports on Twitter, our source insists plans for a secret Melbourne wedding are well underway. “They’ve been engaged for a good few months now, and they’ve done a great job at keeping it under wraps!” says a source. “Kylie’s lips are sealed…

Dolly Parton is reportedly keeping a bedside vigil for Carl Dean, her publicity-shy husband of 54 years, as the country music queen fears the end is near. Carl’s condition has drastically declined in the past year, and devoted Dolly has confessed to friends that she rarely leaves his side because the 78-year-old may have only months to live. “Dolly and Carl have always spent long stretches of time away from each other, but now she has become his primary caregiver,” an insider explains. Sadly, it was reported back in 2019 that Carl’s now living with Alzheimer’s disease, and its impact has been devastating. “It’s brought on a slew of grave issues, including bladder problems, that have left him with a lack of appetite,” the insider continues. “Carl is also disoriented…

The teenage daughter of Anna Nicole Smith has made a rare public appearance in a new TV special – and she has grown into the spitting image of her late mother. Dannielynn Birkhead, who was only 5 months old when her Playboy model mother died of an accidental drug overdose in 2007, aged 39, has spent the majority of her life out of the spotlight. In the US 20/20 TV special, Tragic Beauty, Dannielynn, along with her father, Larry Birkhead, set off to learn more about Anna Nicole to coincide with the 14th anniversary of her untimely death. The duo travel to Mexia, Texas to visit Anna’s former childhood hometown. There, they reunited with Anna’s teenage best friend, Jo McLemore, who was equally astounded at Dannielynn’s resemblance to her mother.…

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are in raptures following the birth of their ninth great-grandchild. In an official statement released by Buckingham Palace, it was confirmed that Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, welcomed their first child, a boy, at London’s Portland Hospital on February 9 at 8:55am, weighing 3.65kg. At press time, a name is yet to be announced. Eugenie, 30, also shared a black and white photo of herself and Jack holding their newborn son’s tiny hand on Instagram, along with three blue heart emojis. “Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well,” read the palace statement. It added that everyone was “delighted with the news”. Royal author Phil Dampier agrees that first-time grandparents Prince Andrew and Sarah ‘Fergie’ Ferguson are likely to be revelling…

Princess Mary may be on the cusp of turning 50, but you certainly wouldn’t know it by looking at her latest birthday portrait! In celebration of her 49th birthday, a stunning new photo of the Aussie-born royal was shared on the Danish palace’s Instagram account. In the image, the ageless mum-of-four beams at the camera with twinkling eyes, glowing skin and a warm smile. Mary’s brunette locks are pulled back into a simple ponytail, while her polka dot blouse is indicative of her chic style. The caption alongside the portrait revealed Mary planned to celebrate her special day at home in Copenhagen with husband, Crown Prince Frederik, and their kids Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.…

Framing Britney Spears is the gripping tell-all documentary that promised to expose the inner workings of the singer’s 12-year conservatorship, which sees her father, Jamie, control almost every aspect of her life. But instead, the film has laid bare yet another burden in Britney’s life – her ill-fated four-year romance with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake! Since the doco premiered, Britney fans have been up in arms over the 39-year-old’s relationship with the NSYNC alum, which lasted from 1998 to 2002. Many have criticised how one of the most highly publicised Hollywood splits in the early noughties managed to see the pop princess’ reputation take an enormous hit. “It’s hard to say whether she saw the film, considering how guarded she is. But the people who were close to Brit during those…

Nicole and Keith’s recent night at the opera with her mum, Janelle, reportedly ended with the cops being called in! According to The Sydney Morning Herald, a disgruntled audience member at the performance of The Merry Widow “swatted” the A-lister when Nicole blocked his view. Keith then accused him of assault,  before the star couple left via a side door. Police confirmed they attended an incident at the Sydney Opera House, however, no charges were laid.…

My darling Hann, I’m sitting here in the shade, in a beautiful shelter. It has three bench seats with a roof for shade, overlooking the oval at Bill Hewitt Reserve in Camp Hill, QLD. You won’t believe what it is called. It’s called Hannah’s Place, in honour of you, my love. As I sit here looking out over the oval, I see you playing touch football. I also see Liyah, Anah and Trey playing on the swings when I used to bring them here. The world is not the same without yours and the children’s smiling faces. Your funeral was massive, my love. It was wonderful to see how the community and most of Australia came together to show their love and support for you and the children. You will…

Growing up, Colin Firth found school “boring and mediocre, and nothing they taught me seemed to be of any interest at all. I always took it to be something of an obstacle to what I really wanted to do, which was to act.” And that’s exactly what he’s been doing for nearly four decades, with great success! He worked steadily through the ’80s, but it was his role as Mr Darcy in 1995’s BBC television adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that made him a household name – and reluctant heart-throb. Although he and wife, Livia, separated last December, the 60-year-old Oscar winner and dad of three remains happy about his life. As he puts it: “I think I have been very lucky.” 1 In the play Another Country, Colin starred…

Kim Kardashian did not hold back in defending her 7-year-old daughter North West against claims she lied about painting a breathtaking landscape! Social media and several major media outlets suggested the mother-of-four was exaggerating her eldest daughter’s skills when she gushed over the impressive work. “My little artist North,” Kim captioned the post, which immediately had fans wondering how the youngster could have been responsible for such a professional-looking artwork. As the online roasting spread, Kim slammed the stories, blasting her doubters and telling naysayers to “stop embarrassing yourselves”, sneering, “Don’t play with me when it comes to my children!”…

Hollywood star Matt Damon is certainly having a Thor-ific time Down Under, if these happy snaps are anything to go by! The 50-year-old actor was spotted spending time with Chris Hemsworth’s wife, Elsa Pataky, and her children at a Byron Bay park recently. A father-of-four himself, Matt was seen putting on an adorable show as he pushed one of Elsa’s 6-year-old twin sons on the swing. “Matt … is an amazing person, he’s so easy,” Elsa, 44, previously said of The Bourne Identity star. Meanwhile, Chris, 37, who has been mates with Matt for years, was in Sydney filming Marvel blockbuster Thor: Love and Thunder alongside Chris Pratt. Matt also has a role in film. Of their friendship, Chris has said: “Matt’s just a normal guy who has the movie-star…

After a long and bitter custody battle, it seems Brad Pitt has copped yet another blow. It’s been claimed that his daughter Shiloh, 14, has ditched her father’s name, as she only uses her mum Angelina Jolie’s surname on social media. “It’s a real kick in the teeth,” reports Us Weekly. The publication adds that Brad, 57, would be heartbroken. “This has got to hurt, for sure.” Meanwhile, Angelina, 45, told British Vogue in a new interview that her six kids, Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, are now more protective of her than ever. “We were on the trampoline the other day, and the children said, ‘No, Mum, don’t do that. You’ll hurt yourself.’ And I thought, ‘God, isn’t that funny?’”…

The joy of becoming a first-time grandfather comes with a twinge of sadness for Prince Andrew. Royal author Phil Dampier tells New Idea that it’s extremely unlikely that the Duke of York will appear in any official family portraits celebrating his grandson’s birth, or from his forthcoming christening. “I can’t see him being [in] any snaps that are made public of Eugenie’s baby,” Phil confirms. Similarly, Andrew was omitted from his eldest daughter Princess Beatrice’s official wedding photos last year, due to the fall out from his alleged involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal. What’s more, the disgraced royal’s name was already a glaring omission on the official Buckingham Palace birth announcement, with Andrew referred to only by his title.…

It was a seemingly innocent photo that sent fans into a frenzy – a beaming Terri Irwin holding her “trusty” video recorder in the back of a selfie with daughter, Bindi. But now, a source close to the 56-year-old tells New Idea the happy snap is the tip of the iceberg of a simmering family feud! According to the insider, Terri has spent the best part of the last decade recording and documenting key moments in the lives of her tight-knit family, which she intends to one day turn into a tell-all documentary. “Terri has had a recorder permanently attached to her for years,” tells the source. “She’s been documenting almost every moment of Bindi and Robert’s lives. She’ll likely have it in the birthing suite, too, when Bindi has…

Despite its highly criticised practices and controversial beliefs, Kate Ceberano has always stood by Scientology. But New Idea hears the devout singer is at an emotional crossroads that could see her quit the contentious church entirely! With the coronavirus pandemic raging on in the US, Kate’s 16-year-old daughter, Gypsy Rogers, has left her Scientology-affiliated American high school to be with her mum in Melbourne. And being away from the watchful eyes of the Delphian School staff has made Gypsy fall in love with life outside the strict church! As it stands, Gypsy is unable to return to the Delphian School in Sheridan, Oregon, due to COVID-19 still running rampant. Australia’s tight border restrictions are also preventing her from getting on an overseas-bound plane. “It’s been a rough year. Gypsy was…

When Claire Summers made the decision to freeze her eggs, she had no idea it would nearly kill her! The then 37-year-old ended up in the ICU after having a reaction to IVF treatment. Claire’s near-death experience led her to start a daily gratitude practice. Remarkably, the simple act lifted her out of depression and inspired her to start her business Gratitude Glass Jars, which was hailed as one of Oprah Winfrey’s favourite products of the year! Now, Claire, from Torquay, VIC, is encouraging others to practice gratitude in their lives. “I am a big believer that once you write something down, you can’t ignore it or hide from it,” Claire, now 40, tells New Idea. “It makes you change your behaviour. You start attracting further things into your life…

The Yorkshire Ripper was one of the worst serial killers in history. Peter William Sutcliffe murdered 13 women and attempted to kill seven more in a spree that left the police scrambling for clues to identify the killer. Now, 45 years after Sutcliffe first killed, Netflix’s four-part series The Ripper takes a look at how he terrorised the streets of Britain from 1975 to 1980. “This case has come to define West Yorkshire,” explains Christa Ackroyd, a journalist who led coverage of the case at the time. “People still remember it as though it were yesterday.” Sutcliffe’s first known victim was Wilma McCann. The 28-year-old was found dead on October 30, 1975, less than 150 metres from the house she lived in with her four children. Wilma was struck on…

Being able to cut hair is one thing, but it takes true artistry to trim off a few years along with the split ends. That’s exactly what celebrity hairdresser and co-owner of Sydney’s Wild Life Hair Sogo, Ali Holmes, is renowned for. I caught up with the seasoned hairdresser to discover the secret to a more youthful look. HAIR THAT’S IN BAD CONDITION… “Hair that’s dry and brittle absorbs light and gives a dull, lifeless look,” says Ali. “It’s important to keep on top of regular trims to keep the ends healthy.” If you want to add the lustre back to your locks, start using hair oils. “They’re best used on the ends of wet hair from the ears down where it gets most dry,” says Ali. It’s great…

A second sequel to Sandra Bullock’s iconic movie Miss Congeniality is in the works – and the actress is being offered a fee that “will break Hollywood records” to revive her role as FBI agent Gracie Hart. “Sandra can’t say no to this and it’s not about the money either,” says a pal. “Already, Michael Caine, Candice Bergen and even William Shatner are willing to sign on if she does and she can’t let her old buddies down.”…

Spare a thought for poor Jennifer Lopez, who’s facing a fresh round of rumours that her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, has been doing the dirty on her. Rumours began to swirl that the retired New York Yankees star had an affair with Southern Charm reality star Madison LeCroy, after her co-star Craig Conover accused her of sleeping with a married ex-baseball player during a recent reunion show. Fans were quick to notice A-Rod follows Madison on  Instagram, and has also “liked” her photos in the past. Madison insists she has “never met up” with A-Rod, but she did concede that they’ve “spoken on the phone”, adding that the calls were “innocent” in nature. “He’s never physically cheated on his fiancée with me,” she declared. “[I’ve] talked to him randomly, but not…
